This is not really a review, more like my thoughts on the movie after I watched it. Of course there will be some spoilers, so don't read if you don't want to have surprises.


As you may know, it happens that I watch a movie because of its plot, but most likely I choose my movies after who is acting in it, and this time I watched it mainly because of Siwon (♥), even though I also like Andy Lau and Fan Bing Bing.
Go here to read about the plot.
Not my kind of movie actually, I don't like war and politics in ancient China, but I thought I should give it a try, and the movie started promising, it kind of built up your expectations, that something great will happen, big battles, you'll get to know the characters and see their development (being stronger and wiser), final highlights of the film and so on. Andy Lau's character, Gak Lei (Cantonese pronunciation), was a bit of a weirdo; he is good at war strategy, but yet he is a rookie on it (huh?), that wasn't too convincing. You don't get to know a lot either about his background, I wanted the movie to unfold more of the facts of who he was and where he come from (why the Mozis didn't want to send someone and why he wanted to come).
I didn't hate the movie
